Audio output balancing
First Claim
1. A first playback device comprising:
- a network interface;
one or more processors; and
tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first playback device to perform a method comprising;
receiving, via the network interface, a first audio signal comprising content in a first frequency range to be played by the first playback device;
determining a first limiting result that represents playback of a second audio signal by a second playback device by applying, to the second audio signal, a pre-determined volume-limiting function that is associated with the second playback device, the second audio signal comprising content in a second frequency range that is different from the first frequency range;
determining another volume-limiting function based on the first limiting result; and
applying the determined volume-limiting function to the first audio signal to scale a playback volume of the first audio signal.

Abstract
An example implementation involves a first playback device receiving a first audio signal comprising content in a first frequency range to be played by the first playback device. The first playback device determines a first limiting result that represents playback of a second audio signal by a second playback device by applying, to the second audio signal, a pre-determined volume-limiting function that is associated with the second playback device, the second audio signal comprising content in a second frequency range that is different from the first frequency range. The first playback device determines another volume-limiting function based on the first limiting result and applies the determined volume-limiting function to the first audio signal to scale a playback volume of the first audio signal.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving, via a first playback device, a first audio signal comprising content in a first frequency range to be played by the first playback device; determining, by the first playback device, a first limiting result that represents playback of a second audio signal by a second playback device by applying, to the second audio signal, a pre-determined volume-limiting function that is associated with the second playback device, the second audio signal comprising content in a second frequency range that is different from the first frequency range; determining, by the first playback device, another volume-limiting function based on the first limiting result; and applying, by the first playback device, the determined volume-limiting function to the first audio signal to scale a playback volume of the first audio signal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a first playback device to perform functions comprising:
-
receiving a first audio signal comprising content in a first frequency range to be played by the first playback device; determining a first limiting result that represents playback of a second audio signal by a second playback device by applying, to the second audio signal, a pre-determined volume-limiting function that is associated with the second playback device, the second audio signal comprising content in a second frequency range that is different from the first frequency range; determining another volume-limiting function based on the first limiting result; and applying the determined volume-limiting function to the first audio signal to scale a playback volume of the first audio signal. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
